2 This boolean config option controls whether some commands run
3 `git maintenance run --auto` after doing their normal work. Defaults
6 maintenance.autoDetach::
7 Many Git commands trigger automatic maintenance after they have
8 written data into the repository. This boolean config option
9 controls whether this automatic maintenance shall happen in the
10 foreground or whether the maintenance process shall detach and
11 continue to run in the background.
13 If unset, the value of `gc.autoDetach` is used as a fallback. Defaults
14 to true if both are unset, meaning that the maintenance process will
17 maintenance.strategy::
18 This string config option provides a way to specify one of a few
19 recommended schedules for background maintenance. This only affects
20 which tasks are run during `git maintenance run --schedule=X`
21 commands, provided no `--task=<task>` arguments are provided.
22 Further, if a `maintenance.<task>.schedule` config value is set,
23 then that value is used instead of the one provided by
24 `maintenance.strategy`. The possible strategy strings are:
26 * `none`: This default setting implies no tasks are run at any schedule.
27 * `incremental`: This setting optimizes for performing small maintenance
28 activities that do not delete any data. This does not schedule the `gc`
29 task, but runs the `prefetch` and `commit-graph` tasks hourly, the
30 `loose-objects` and `incremental-repack` tasks daily, and the `pack-refs`
33 maintenance.<task>.enabled::
34 This boolean config option controls whether the maintenance task
35 with name `<task>` is run when no `--task` option is specified to
36 `git maintenance run`. These config values are ignored if a
37 `--task` option exists. By default, only `maintenance.gc.enabled`
40 maintenance.<task>.schedule::
41 This config option controls whether or not the given `<task>` runs
42 during a `git maintenance run --schedule=<frequency>` command. The
43 value must be one of "hourly", "daily", or "weekly".
45 maintenance.commit-graph.auto::
46 This integer config option controls how often the `commit-graph` task
47 should be run as part of `git maintenance run --auto`. If zero, then
48 the `commit-graph` task will not run with the `--auto` option. A
49 negative value will force the task to run every time. Otherwise, a
50 positive value implies the command should run when the number of
51 reachable commits that are not in the commit-graph file is at least
52 the value of `maintenance.commit-graph.auto`. The default value is
55 maintenance.loose-objects.auto::
56 This integer config option controls how often the `loose-objects` task
57 should be run as part of `git maintenance run --auto`. If zero, then
58 the `loose-objects` task will not run with the `--auto` option. A
59 negative value will force the task to run every time. Otherwise, a
60 positive value implies the command should run when the number of
61 loose objects is at least the value of `maintenance.loose-objects.auto`.
62 The default value is 100.
64 maintenance.incremental-repack.auto::
65 This integer config option controls how often the `incremental-repack`
66 task should be run as part of `git maintenance run --auto`. If zero,
67 then the `incremental-repack` task will not run with the `--auto`
68 option. A negative value will force the task to run every time.
69 Otherwise, a positive value implies the command should run when the
70 number of pack-files not in the multi-pack-index is at least the value
71 of `maintenance.incremental-repack.auto`. The default value is 10.
